The ultimate science handbook
"Concise, rigorous, and lucid." Covering everything from chemistry to human anatomy, mathematics to molecular biology, and physics to computing, this fully updated third edition is superbly comprehensive, accessible, and the ideal reference tool for students, researchers, or anyone who is curious about how the world works. Readers will find: • Clear definitions of some 7,000 scientific terms • Succinct explanations of fundamental terms (ammonia, base pairing, cell) and more specialist concepts (allosteric enzyme, Bravais lattice, close packing) • Appendices ranging from lists of SI units and fundamental constants to the periodic table and an outline classification of living organisms • Hundreds of illustrations and diagrams -Max Perutz "There should be one in each lab for reference." -School Science Review (UK) |
